Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Internal control module random access memory (ram) error

Toyota RAV4. Internal control module random access memory (ram) error


Description

The ecm continuously monitors its own internal memory status, internal circuits, and output signals transmitted to the throttle actuator. This self-check ensures that the ecm is functioning properly. If any malfunction is detected, the ecm sets the appropriate dtc and illuminates the mil.

The ecm memory status is diagnosed by internal mirroring of the main cpu and the sub cpu to detect random access memory (ram) errors. The two cpus also perform continuous mutual monitoring. The ecm illuminates the mil and sets a dtc if: 1) outputs from the two cpus are different or deviate from the standards, 2) the signals sent to the throttle actuator deviate from the standards, 3) a malfunction is found in the throttle actuator supply voltage, and 4) any other ecm malfunction is found.

Inspection procedure

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. Check any other dtcs output (in addition to dtc p0604, p0606, p0607 or p0657)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch on.
  3. Turn the tester on.
  4. Select the following menu items: diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / dtc info / current codes.
  5. Read dtcs.

System voltage
Description The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is in the off position. This power allows the ecm to store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data and ...

Starter relay circuit high
Description While the engine is being cranked, the positive battery voltage is applied to terminal sta of the ecm. If the ecm detects the starter control (sta) signal while the vehicle is bein ...

Adjusting the settings
To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control dial clockwise (increase) or counterclockwise (decrease). Turning the dial to “0” turns off the fan. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control dial clockwise (warm) or counterclockwise (cool). If  is ...

Data list
Hint: By reading the data list displayed on an intelligent tester, values can be checked, including those of the switches, sensors, and actuators, without removing any parts. Reading the data list as the first step of troubleshooting is one method of shortening diagnostic time. Notice: In th ...

Exhaust pipe
Installation Install front exhaust pipe assembly Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring. Minimum length: 41.5 Mm (1.634 In.) If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring. Install a new gasket by hand so that its ...
